Cerberus probably borders on the pythonesque for a miniature pinscer. How about Pyrron or Pyrrus, two bona-fide Hellenic names that are related to "pyr" (=fire)?

It turns out that the rescue was a false alarm, so I won't be needing a name any time too soon. But "Pyrron" or "Pyrrus" would definitely have been in the running. Thanks for the suggestions! :) I personally kind of like "Pyro" for a red dog (the prefix for English words pertaining to "fire"). Naming a red miniature pinscher after the Hellenic king Pyrrhus would be clever, too, seeing as how this toy breed is, in the Dog World, dubbed "The King of the Toys". You win, Pavlos, and not merely by default, either. :)
You already had my respect, so when do you want to collect your free curse? :)

Isn't having the middle name of Hermaphroditus curse enough?

Ooo, that was evil. Perfect retribution for what he did to the postal abbreviation of your state. :)

Coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment. And Che's gotta learn I won't countenance any snide remarks about either Kintuckie (where I'll soon be a homeowner) or KY cheli.

I'm glad you approve of Pyrrus (=> same as Pyrrhus) :) The respect part is, needles to say, mutual. As far as the curse is concerned I am in the awkward position of having to enemies at present. A raincheck perhaps? Does the offer carry an expiration date?
